Magne Furuholmen - This is Now America

This is now America

Way down in the basement
she finds to her amazement
a diary from when she was a girl

A time of high promise
her face so pure and honest
without a care or concern

That was then America
that was then America
now we know what we are worth
This is now America
this is now America
this is your place in the world

No bridge across divides
a drunken joyride
with a monkey at the wheels

Foreclosed on a bad loan
now they lost their home
wolves snapping at their heels

Shooting stars and muscle clams
fairy lights and apple pies
now we wonder where we are
birds in the sky

This is now America
this is now America
oh how little we have learned
This is now America
this is now America
there is no way to turn

She longs for simpler times
less clutter on her mind
like it should have been

She lies awake at night
so hard to reconcile
the remnants of her dream

Shooting sprees in her school yard
border walls and prison guards
now we wonder where they are
drones in the sky

This is now America
this is now America
now we know what we are worth
This is now America
this is now America
this is your place in the world

This is now America
this is now America
oh how little we have learned
This is now America
this is now America
there is no way to turn...
